Abstract

A fitness equipment meter display storage apparatus includes a fitness equipment body and a meter installed on a frame at the front of the fitness equipment body and having a button/signal input unit on a surface of the meter for transmitting a signal to an internal microprocessor. The meter includes a microprocessor MCU in the meter, a power supply unit for supplying required electric power, an AV OUT control element connected to the microprocessor for outputting the data of the microprocessor by audio and video signals, and a large display device having an AV IN control element connected to the AV OUT control element of the meter through an AV signal line for displaying the exercise status of a user, such that the user can know about the exercise volume and the whole physiological condition while doing exercises, so as to make an appropriate adjustment for the best exercise effect.

Claims
